COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

In order to achieve these learning outcomes, during the course the student will:

1. Describe the basic anatomical design of the human body, including its

  bilateral symmetry, segmentation, tube within a tube design, cavities,

  and fluid compartments.

2. Name the organ systems of the body and describe their basic structural

  design and function.

3. Recognize and describe the major organs of each system, including their

  location in the body, gross anatomy, histological features, and

function.

4. Differentiate the four major tissue types, identify the subtypes of

  each of the major tissue types, and locate them in body structures.

5. Identify the specific anatomical structures listed in the lab manual

  using models, charts, specimens, cadavers, and skeletons.

6. Evaluate the various features of the body which are designed to provide

  protection for the essential organs and functions.

7. Perform a dissection of some major organs in a cadaver.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because this course includes essay exams that fulfil the writing component of the course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 0 - 0%
None
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 5 - 10%
Cadaver dissection
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 90 - 95%
Midterm exams and final exam: multiple choice, completion, essay questions; lab practical exams
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 0 - 0%
None
